also cancel my XM radio subscription to get the bottom dollar rate every 6 to 12 months


Much like your Amazon scheme, this is one of those things that I prefer to just pay normal price rather than go through the hassle.

To each their own though.

You can get free 2 day shipping from Walmart without a membership but a minimum of $35.00. Not everything is eligible but same goes for Prime.

In the amount of time it takes to do all that, i could literally make 1000s more than saving $119.

Technically this is redundant. What makes jorts jorts is the fact that they're cutoff. Non cutoff jorts are call jeans.

Creating a new email address takes 1 minute on Google. A lot less of a hassle than XM Radio and having to jue them down.


With XM you call, say you're going to cancel, they put you through and give you the $5-6 a month deal that runs for six months. It's one 3 minute phone call.

With this, you not only need to create a new email, you also need to create an entirely new account on amazon, setup and enter your billing info, etc etc every single month. And you lose any benefit of having all your amazon shite in one account....it's scattered all over the damn place across a dozen or two email addresses.

Well I can't. So I appreciate the $119 a year. I think we're all cheap when it comes to certain things. For example, my grandfather had a lot of money, but bitched anytime I was in the shower for more than 10 minutes. As an adult I take my sweet arse time enjoying the heat, especially in the winter.

I can barely remember my work passwords that change every 90 days, no way I would remember all this shite.

You can cancel at anytime and get the full 30 days. All you have to do is register a new email address with the same credit card number when the 30 days are up. Plus they give you an extra $10 each time you create an account if you order something through your phone app.

They will probably just show them cancelled. That is what one of mine did. Customer service said it wasn't and reinstated it. Cancelled the next day again. If it's on Amazon delivery fair chance it doesn't show.

I canceled my awhile back because I stopped using Amazon as much as I had been, but if you have to do all that shite to save a few bucks you shouldn't be shopping on Amazon anyway.

Shipping isn't quite what it once was.

I was suppose to have a delivery today and no bueno.

Happened on another recent shipment which I paid extra money for next day.. and it ended up lost. Of course they reimbursed.
